Far out, be nice to people Saus!

Spacers could have that effect if the droop is too restricted, try backing off the droop screws and see what happens

i never liked the standard shocks on the S so i upgraded them to V-one R shocks. Alot better quality, aluminum build, threaded body so adjustmens are more acurate and they dont leak.

springs set the ride height of the car so the more compressed it is the heigher it is, the less pressure or compression it has the lower it is.

i was being nice

i just dont like it when people ask for help and dont give u the required infomation and expect u to work out the rest.
no hard feelings

What id say the problem is, is that your droop screws are limiting the downtravel of the suspension arm, which in turn, limits the shock movement, check that they havnt been screwed in too far, and if so, try using a droop gauge.

I recieved my stuff today. Got my Mini-Z, setup station, tyres and lots more.

I'm a very happy boy !

sausage_link

hows the setup station?

johan798

It isnt the screws I have them in default position.


Can someone give me an explanation how it should work(adjusting the ride height by changing collars).

sausage_link

basicly adding shock collars should raise the car because it makes the suspension have less travel so the suspension lifts the car higher.

are you trying to go lower or higher?

hope this helps

I am trying to get it to work at all.

Can the spring be to big????????

squizzytaylor

I doubt the spring would be too long, however you could check the following;
1) Is the shock mounted in the correct hole?(upper or lower)
2)do you have the right size lower shock ends fitted? (there are long and short)
3) have you tried it with no spacers? if so what effect did it have?
4) have you tried removing the droop screws alltogether (1mm of adjustment at the screw end = about 10mm an the hub.

Go back to basics! every one buggers up something, be it large or small when assembling a kit.
Do you have a digital camera? if so take a photo of the shocks as they are assembled on the car and either post it here or email me at [email protected] and I shall endeavour to help!

Hi need info on the gearing for the two speed. i am having a sirio 5 port and i am running 18/19 pinion and 40/43.

what size gear should i change to have more overall performance? i had tried 39 already.

thanks in advance

squizzytaylor

That would all depend on whether or not you want more top end or low down performance, your pinion sizes are a worry though as your gearing has to be even;
For example
16/48 = 64
20/44 = 64

17/49 = 66
21/45 = 66

If you dont follow this rule your going to be stripping gears left right and centre!

From memory your 2-speed instructions should have the gear ratios.

Okey

I have a digital camera not good(its a webcam)I will try everything you have wrote and send some picture.

Thanks.

Here are the pictures squizzytaylor.

The springs should not get stiffer when you increase the ride height, right????

cant post it to big mail you
